WHAT IS ETSY?

Etsy.com is an online marketplace for buying & selling all things handmade. The beauty of this is that EVERYTHING on Etsy is unique. Since there is no mass production every single item has it’s own individuality. Etsy’s mission is to enable people to make a living making things, and to reconnect makers with buyers.

Our vision is to build a new economy and present a better choice: Buy, Sell, and Live Handmade.

WHAT IS THE CONNECTICUT ETSY STREET TEAM?

The team was an idea of Etsy, to start grouping people by location or craft to work together to promote each other as well as the site. How each team goes about that is a completely up to them.

The CT Etsy Street Team is a group of crafty small business owners from around the state, who are predominantly women. As a team, they hope to interest the public with their individual wares, as well as steer people away from products that are mass-produced while also trying to sway buying locally. (Besides, buying local is way cooler than shopping in some mega store!)

I’ve been indulging in the creative juices a bit much as of late, and these are some of the things I’ve added to my shop.

I’ll be adding a line of rheumatism rings which aid healing. They are made of copper and are adjustable when your fingers swell. Lots of bookmarks, a creative chain for those bored with typical hanging decor (see pic below for a preview), and perhaps a copper dreamcatcher. It’s certainly not your ordinary dream catcher, but I happen to love it. Would you buy something like this? It has blue lace agate and cats eye on the web, crystal prisms hang from handmade chains which create little rainbows around your room in the sun.

If you don’t know what healing properties metals have you should check out my shop.

Copper has a positive influence on blood circulation and metabolism. Aids in detoxifying the body – relieving arthritis and rheumatism. Aid for exhaustion. Strong conductor of energy. The “Love Metal”… assisting one to open up to Love energies. Please note: Copper jewelry’s therapeutic properties will draw toxins from the system through the skin at areas where copper is worn, leaving a new coloring on skin and metal – a totally natural and beneficial characteristic feature and service of copper. Simply wash up areas and leave bracelet and/or ring on to continue its’ work.
